A linked server configuration allows Microsoft® SQL Server™ to execute commands against OLE DB data sources on different servers. Linked servers offer these advantages:
- Remote server access.
- The ability to issue distributed queries, updates, commands, and transactions on heterogeneous data sources across the enterprise.
- The ability to address diverse data sources similarly
sp_addlinkedserver
Creates a linked server. A linked server allows for access to distributed, heterogeneous queries against OLE DB data sources. After a linked server is created by using sp_addlinkedserver, distributed queries can be run against this server. If the linked server is defined as an instance of SQL Server, remote stored procedures can be executed.
Command:
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server= SERVER NAME
eg, your server name is myDBserver then
EXEC sp_addlinkedserver @server = 'myDBserver'
sp_addlinkedsrvlogin
Creates or updates a mapping between a login on the local instance of SQL Server and a security account on a remote server.
Command:
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname , 'TRUE' | 'FALSE' | NULL, @locallogin, @rmtuser,
@rmtpassword
eg,
EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'myDBserver' , 'false', NULL, 'sa', 'password'
